DREAMS series, discover the life of Queen Elizabeth II, the
longest-reigning monarch of modern times. Little Elizabeth loved
dogs and horses and dreamed of living on a farm. But, one day, she
heard chants on the streets. Her uncle Edward had renounced the
Crown, which meant her father would be the next king, and she
heiress to the throne. From that day on, she had to learn how to
one day be the queen. When she was only 13, World War Two broke out
across the globe. Elizabeth bravely served as an ambulance driver,
and after the war ended, she fell in love with and married the
charming Prince Philip. In 1952, she was crowned Queen of the
United Kingdom, and for the next 70 years she would serve as a
beacon of continuity, looking after her subjects and serving the
country she reigned over. This moving book features stylish and
quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a
biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile
of the monarch's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a best-selling
series of books and games that explore the lives of outstanding

of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child
with a dream. This empowering series offers inspiring messages to

Grow your heart three sizes-and dazzle your eyes-with this FULL
COLOR edition of the beloved holiday classic How the Grinch Stole
Christmas!-the perfect gift for under the tree and for Dr. Seuss
fans and collectors any time of year! This season of giving, give a
gift that's never been given before-a full color edition of How the
Grinch Stole Christmas! Originally published in 1957 using just 2
different colored inks (red and black), this new, jacketed edition
features Dr. Seuss's original illustrations in full color for the
very first time-the way he'd have likely colored them had he
published the book today! While this edition is not a replacement
for the original, we think it makes a cheerful addition to the Dr.
Seuss canon that is bound to appeal to Dr. Seuss fans of all ages.
PS: The drabness of the Grinch's life in his cave compared to the
happy, vibrant life of the Whos in Who-ville has never been easier
to see!
